THE STATES: m Distinct as the Billows, but one as the Sea.' EDITOR AND FROFRIETOR.. CBAMiitTTB. Tuesday Morning. March 25, 1856 a why he did it. The friends of Mr. Fillmore lay great stress upon the fact that he signed the Compromise bills, including the fugitive fehte law. Now, we have the testimony of one of his own organs, to show why he riened it. It was not because he had any partiality for the fugitive slave feature of the hill, but because there were connected therewith other laws on which the "hearts of Mr. P. and his friends were set." The New Albany Tribune .-ays: Mr. Fillmore gave his official sanction to the Fugitive Slave bill because "we got other laws on which our hearts were set, that we should not have got, had rot that law been passed also," and because "in doing so he was but carrying out one of the great principles of the party which elected him that the personal opinions of the executive, on mere questions of policy, ought never to be brought into conflic t with the will of the people's representatives, by an arbitrary exercise of the veto power." The Tribune also informs its readers that Mr. Fillmore would just as readily sign bills restoring the Missouri restriction, and repealing or amending the Fugitive Slave law. We have not the slightest doubt but that the Tribune is correctly informed upon the subject, and thut should the Senate, during Ida term, become as thoroughly abolitionized as the House is now, Congress will find in Mr. F. a willing agent for carry ing out their measures. Th- signing of the compromise bills, as the Petersburg Democrat remarks, is the only trophy off Ex-President Fillmore, the only act ot his lite wnicu it friends can extract from a somewhat lengthy record, j on which to claim for him the slightest countenance at the hands of the Southern iK'nii i. rnow 1 I'lll lliai lie .is wi inn "tint- j 1 t i .pie.

Now j Know Nothing State Council met at Col this Compromise Bill, the solitary Southern U111UIIS, Ohio, on the 20th instant, and after feather amid the waving freesoil plume that stol Ill v (session adopted a majority report adorns Mr. Fulmore a head, was a measure which it would have staggered the unblush ing assurance of a Giddings to have vetoed under the circumstances. It was proposed by one gr at leader of the party which placed Mr. Fillmore in his seat, ami sus- ,1 .1 .1 Wm ... . 1 tamed ov llie oiner. n u as a jii gicuici f.i .i a .i concession to iwrtmern man to aommrrn vltraists. and was denounced by some of the ablest men of this section of the Union. To have vetoed it would have been as great a violence to what we may call, following the latest nomenclature, "national whig gerv," as to democracy, and would have subjected him t- as much denunciation from the one as the other. With regard to the motives which impelled hi ill to the course he pursued, we wiU let his own friends speak, as shown above, in the New Albany Tribune- " THE NEW PLATFORM. The above is the heading Knov-Nthing journals have wh the generally 1 placed over the new set of principles man ufactured for them by the late anti-twelfth section Convention at Philadelphia. " The nf!- Platform." Thus admitting that they they have discarded their old principles and adopted new ones. The facility with which the Know-Nothing party change their principles, is surprising if not amusing. Every Convention serves up a dish ol "new" principles, and away goes the old ones, while the new batch take their place. It is evident that these wonderful politi- j of Mr. Fillmore fat the presidency, proposes eiuM ham m lix d principles, and that : a national convention of the dissatisfied, to they adopt any and every "platform" that ' be held in the city of New York on the 11th the; believe will catch the popular breeze I of June next. r humbug the people.

We advlse our Know-Nothing friends to issue propo lis for a popular set of principles.

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier says, that should the Cincinnati Convention adont the mode of voting by delegations, as recommended by 1 P51 ta our immediate vicinity some , , . .. . m . . .. valuable real estate, and we would be gratified to the last Convention, the following is the ex-I ,. , ... e , : see him become a citizen of old democratic pected result of the first trial to nominate : , Mecklenburg FOR Gen.

" CP The Wilmington Herald says the Convention of the American party will have no difficult task in selecting a candidate for the office of Governor, as the names of the following gentlemen have already been sug gested in connection therewith : Kenneth Rayner, of Hertford; George Davis, of Wilmington ; Thos. D. Meares, of Bruns wick ; David A. Barnes, of Northampton; John A. Gilmer, of Guilford; Hay wood W. Guion, of Lincoln ; John H. Haughton, of ( 'hat ham ; E. 6. Keade, of Person ; and John Baxter, off Henderson. KANSAS. The telegraph brings us a report dated St. Louis, March 18, that "the Democrat., of that city, has a letter from Topeka, dat ed the 8th instant, stating that the Free State Le gislature of Kansas has in joint convention elected Hon. A. H. Reeder and Hon. .lames II. Lane U. S. Senator. Mr. Reeder was elected on the first and Mr. Lane on the second ballot. Each received 38 votes out of .) members present." Rea der is, i:i the language of the day, "rather extensive." First Governor, next a contes- taut of the seat of General Whitfield as a Delegate from that Territory, and now an anticipated United States Senator. Verily, the Freesoilers have showered "blushing honors thick upon him!" Wo may soon expect that the Black Republicans will nominate him for the Presidency ! KANSAS IN THE NORTH. The free-soil States are busy in bidding meetings and raising men and money to (-' r w:l rd abolition de-aims ill Kansas. A , ntherfeir of this kind took place at the Capitol at Albany, X. Y., on the 13th instant. The Albany papers state . , . 1 i i-.i i 11 cm i that "the Assembly ( bamber was well filled. : man' id the audience being ladies. The speakers wen kers were warmly applauded; and at repudiating the uominations of Fillmore and Donelson, and endorsing the action of the seceders from the Philadelphia Convention. Rail Roaii Accident. A thorough ex amination as to the cause of the recent ac- t.j(M.,lt un tlt :eaboard and Roanoke Rail road lias been made by the President and other officers, and they have arrived at the conclusion that it was caused by the break ing of the axle of the tender. No defect was discoverable in the trestle-work, or the material of which the structure- was built. Rumors have been circulated that the inel ancholly loss of life was due to the unsound ness of the bridge but these are not only 1 not substantiated by the examination, but i utterly disproved. Instruments of Death. The grounds belonging to the United States Arsenal, at Batou, Louisiana, embrace an area of "27 miles. In the three magazines there are 3(1000 pounds of powder, and 0,000ronnds of cartridges for small arms and cannon. The storehouses contain 'J5,000 muskets, ritles, carbines and pistols, 2,500 sabres, IO0 cannons, 600,000 cannon balls and shells, 3J,000 pounds canister, and accou trements for 100,000 men. The total value of the land and buildings, with contents, is over $01,000,000. MMM I 9 The Albany (N. Y.) State Register, which does not respond to the nomination the fine Merchant Mills of Mr. F. E. Harrison, of Andersonville. were on Tuesdav last, destroyed by fire, together : " - wlth their content, about I.1UU bushels ot wheat and 11 number of barrels of lour. It 's not known how the fire originated. Attempt of a Mi rdf.rf.r to Escape We learn from the Columbia Times, of yesterday, that James McCombs, to be hang in April for the murder of a police officer, made a desperate attempt on Satur - - - day night last to escape from jail. He sue- ceeded in breaking open two strongly ironed door Prison, and was just ready to make his escape over the outer wall of tho prison, when be was discovered by the jailor. The Times says: We are utterly astonished that the Jailor, when he visited the cell in the morntng, was not struck down and killed on the spot, for we well know that a man under sentence of death is often j j j : u: A- i riiuuiru ucsurlow m ins actions. lie WRS powerfully armed; with one blow with the ! iron bar he held in his hand he could hare ' silenced the Jailor forever, and then might have made hia escape. I PERSONAL. The Hon. Hiram Walbridge, ex-Member of CongTess from the City of New-York, is at pre sent on a visit to our town, stopping at the Man sion House. No one could be more welcome than Gen. W. He stood a firm and unflinching advo cate of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and exhibited in his course in Congress a liberal spirit towards the South and every section of the ! Union- We are pleased to learn that Gen. W. town, sojourning at the same Hotel. It is his first visit here, and we are gratified to learn that he is well pleased with our citizens and the business character of the place. Mr. Melton was the author of the " King's Mountain Celebration," lately is- sued from the press, in a style reflecting much credit upon his taste and ability. He is quite a young man, who exhibits for one of his years unusual taste, tact, and ability in the publishing line. The "Yorkville Enquirer" is one amongst the best edited and best printed papers in South Carolina. Its young and enterprising proprierors, Messrs. John L. Miller and Samuel W. Melton, (Mr. Lewis M. Grist, Publisher,) richly de- serve the great success which we are pleased to learn has attended their efforts since they esta- i.i:..v..,j .i.:. i wi k KMU r 1 iweive uiuuius go. Mr. Bell, of the "Salisbury Herald," was also on a visit to our town, a few days ago a very pleasant gentleman, whose appearance indicates a life of much more ease than that enjoyed by some Editors of our acquaintance. THE MONUMENT QUESTION. Are you sound on the "Wilmot," the "goose bone," or the "snake" question? are no longer the great questions of tin; day ; but, are you sound on the "Monument question?" This is the question, which now swallows up all others j and convulses this community Trom the centre to the core," as the orator of a "thousand strings" has expressed it. Mr. "Ko. G Allison" (at first, "Ko. Allison") occupies nearly two columns in the last "AYhig," to show that we are not sound on his monument hobby ; but v can discover nothing in his wordy and windy epistle demand ing a waste of ink and paper for a reply. While we sympathise with our neighbor of the "Whig" and his readers, in having to endure so much from "Robert G. Allison" on this "momentous" (mole-hill) question, we fancy that we can occu py our space more to the profit and pleasure of our readers by attention to other matters. In truth, we care not where or how many monu ments may be erected or whether any shall be built. We leave the whole question this " mo- I wtwi" monumental question, to be settled by Mr. Robert G. Allison, who appears fully able to dispose of the whole matter, without any aid on our part. THE PHILADELPHIA STEAMBOAT DISASTER. About 00 lives were lost by the burning of a ferry boat, on the 10th instant, as it was crossing the Deleware river between Camden and Philadelphia. Thirty bodies have been found and about tho same num ber are still in the water. They were prin cipally citizens of Philadelphia, and the event has caused great sadness and distress in that city. NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. Returns from "219 towns give Metcalfe, American, for Governor, 30,980; Wells, Democrat, 31,490; Goodwin, Whig, 2,337; scattering, 140. There are yet ten towns to hear from, which will not materially vary the result. It is possible, and even probable, that the abolitionists and know-nothings will have a small majority in the House; and it is equally probable that the democrats will have a small majority in the Senate. Th Democrats have gained from eight to ten thousand votes since last year. A Falling Off. The Know-Nothings of Fredericksburg, Vs., succeeded last week in electing a Mayor by the following vote: John S. Caldwell, (K. N.) 258; Peter Goolrick, (Dem.) 228. The Knoir-Nothing v ' majority, in Fredericksburg, at the Mayor's election last year, was 107.

The subject of this notice was a young man ol no ordinary interest. Of a peaceable and quiet disposition, itffable and unassuming in man ners, he deservedly occupied a high place in the esteem of those wiih whom he associated. For some time previous to his sickness, he had been absent from home ; and had just returned, to un dertake the grateful task of lightening the multi plied cares of a kind and indulgent Father; but he came home to die. Though not a member of a Church, we trust, from evidences manifested during his illness, that his spirit has gone to the God who gave it where there will be no more sorrow, no more sickness, no more death. In his untimely death, a father has lost an affectionate son, his compeers a valued friend, and a commu nity one w ho bid fair to become one of its most useful members. A large procession followed his remains to their final resting place. May this sore affliction be sanctified to those most deeply con cerned ; and may his young friends learn trom it, the uncertainty of life ; may they ever 'watch,' remembering that: " Our lit'.- is ever on the wing, And death is ever nigh : The moment when our lives begin, We all begin to die."
